Rob Karloff Posted November 22, 2004 Report Share Posted November 22, 2004 The duelling guitars of the Young brothers, here still combined with the superlatively demonic tones of original singer Bon Scott, have never been so well showcased as on this live album from their Powerage tour. Masters of the killer riff, AC/DC were at this stage still in full command of the tongue-in-cheek Australian energy that served them so well. With Angus Young's crackling lead guitar fluently tearing up every solo spot he gets with exuberant panache and Bon Scott exuding equal helpings of leering menace and outsider humour, the result is a superlatively potent brew. Above all, their music has a real sense of dynamics, space and pace--essential for any such music to be truly effective. All of this album is essential listening, but in particular don't miss "Hell Ain't A Bad Place To Be", "Whole Lotta Rosie" and "Problem Child". - Amazon.co.ukAC/DCs "If you want blood, you've got it" album. Start to finish it blows my socks off everytime... Crank the stereo and listen to "Riff Raff" kick in.. MEGA!Yes, there's Queen, but in terms of pure, balls to the wall R'n'R, no-one beats Bon Scott era AC/DC, and this live album in particular.The Darkness should realise this.

TR!ΔNGL€ T€€TH Posted November 22, 2004 Report Share Posted November 22, 2004 Thin Lizzy ~ Live and dangerous is pretty damn good... But, I've got some great bootlegs, like Nirvana's halloween show in '91 and The Smashing Pumpkins 2nd last ever show. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

NARC Posted November 22, 2004 Report Share Posted November 22, 2004 I suppose it technically doesnt count because its a dvd not a music cd, but "Jeff Buckley: Live In Chicago" is stunning. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rob Karloff Posted November 23, 2004 Author Report Share Posted November 23, 2004 Thin Lizzy's Live & Dangerous and the above are the best. Period.You know, I really like that record, but I think there's some slightly less good songs on there. AC/DC is 100% rock-tastic, every song and minute!!"And I curdled her cream..."

palmer_eldritch Posted November 23, 2004 Report Share Posted November 23, 2004 the best live album i've got is probably "Fleetwood Mac - Boston BLues", Peter Green era ofcourse Just really awesome to hear how well Jeremy Spencer and Peter Green play off each other. Really stunning!Also "King Crimson's Cirkus" is really good also Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

New Found Power Posted November 24, 2004 Report Share Posted November 24, 2004 I'm also a huge fan of Live and Dangerous, but it's "live" status can be seriously called into question. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
